No... Because of the avatar pic I had a bunch of parts left over from a 77 GS750. Wasn't sure what I was going to do because importing a frame from outside of Florida costs way to much in licensing fees. Finally got lucky, found a Florida frame and built a 750.Originally posted by nvr2old View Post

This is the scoot in the avatar pic.Originally posted by nvr2old View Post
This list is as it sits in this pic - as of today 09.29.2023 its actually only the frame and engine right now. finishing the frame over the next few weeks now that the above 750 is getting done
77 GS750 frame - 08/77 - registered and insured in the state of Florida - in my name LOL.
78/9 GS1000 engine - stock as of now except for the Dyna pick up and coils. Carbs in this pic are Kawasaki VM 26's (1975 KZ900 still in the family - bored to an 1172 and fun)
2002 GSXR F&R suspension, brakes, wheels, clip ons,
1993 ZX11 gear sets
late model Bonneville seat pan - 1 off - guy built a test piece - I got lucky and found it.
The side covers are not going to be on this bike as I have a 1/2 piece of sheet aluminum (4mm ?) that I am going to make side covers and a rear number plate.
The gas tank is a 550/650 tank - came with this frame and the above 750 tins and will only be on it for "show." I am building a tank for racing.
I deal with calibration gas for sensors in our generators and the bottles are cool.
Trying to build this with as many OE parts as I can as I plan on visiting Beeville, Bonneville and pay a visit to the boys at the SDBA.
It's been fun and I have ridden it in this confirguration. Front wheel is happy and the real wheel spins uncontrolably for some unknown reason but I am diagnosing it
Busted the local speed limit with no issues - so far.
You won't believe how light it is...

1st wet sand with both colors. Found a couple of blemishes that I've taken care of.
Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to finish this tank....
You don't realize how big it is until you're trying to wet sand with it in your lap... LOL
